Hope to see you at PDC – live or online

Next week, I’ll be speaking at PDC.  The sessions were published recently and I’ll be speaking on Thursday at 11:30AM PST.

Building, Deploying, and Managing Windows Azure Applications

In order to take full advantage of Windows Azure and SQL Azure, you need to know more than just how to write the code. You need to know how to incorporate your application in a team environment, deploy, monitor, manage and retrieve diagnostic information back from the cloud. In this session, you will learn everything you need to know to be successful with a project that utilizes Windows Azure and SQL Azure including setting up your development environment, automating build, unit test and deployments to different deployment environments from staging to production, and managing credentials and user roles using the Windows Azure Portal.

I’ll frame the talk a little differently.  My talk has 3 sections, Setting up the cloud, Deploying to the cloud and Viewing into the cloud and I’ll be covering a mix of what’s there today and some cool new features we have coming sometime before the end of the year.

What’s unique about this PDC is that all of the sessions will be broadcast live online at: https://player.microsoftpdc.com/ so if you couldn’t make it live, I hope that you can watch online and twitter along @jnakashima.

I’m pretty jazzed, looking forward to seeing you there – live or online.
